Sharing Behavioral Patterns Between Devices

1. A computing device, comprising: a memory to store executable instructions; and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein, responsive to execution by the processor, the executable instructions facilitate performance of operations comprising: monitoring first media content that is presented at a presentation device to identify behavioral patterns associated with a user, detecting a first behavioral pattern of the user based on the monitoring of the first media content; transmitting the first behavioral pattern to a communication device associated with the user for adjusting communication operations according to the first behavioral pattern to generate adjusted communication operations at the communication device, wherein the adjusted communication operations include a presentation of a toolbar at the communication device that includes a group of buttons, wherein each button of the group of buttons enables initiating a communication session with a different content source to access different content; receiving from the communication device a second behavioral pattern that is determined by the communication device based on a monitored user interaction with at least some of the group of buttons; searching an electronic programming guide according to the second behavioral pattern; identifying second media content that is correlated to the second behavioral pattern based on the searching of the electronic programming guide; and enabling access to the second media content.

2. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein a first button of the group of buttons enables first access by the communication device to a first content source via a first web portal, wherein the enabling of the access to the second media content is via a second web portal from a second content source, and wherein the operations further comprise presenting the second media content at the presentation device.

3. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the first behavioral pattern identifies content of interest to the user based on genre, individuals associated with the content, broadcast channels of interest to the user, a temporal profile of consumption of the content by the user, or any combination thereof.

4. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the second behavioral pattern is determined by the communication device based in part on user preferences inputted by the user, and wherein the adjusted communication operations include adjusting a user profile stored at the communication device to indicate content preferences for the user.

5. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is integrated with a set top box, and wherein the adjusted communication operations include adjusting a user profile for the user to indicate content preferences for the user.

6. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the communication device comprises a mobile phone, and wherein the monitoring of the first media content is utilized for targeting advertisement at the communication device.

7. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the adjusted communication operations are limited for use by the user and not for use by other users that share the communication device, wherein the processor is integrated with a set top box, and wherein the monitoring of the first media content is utilized for providing advertisements targeted to the user according to a subject matter of the first media content.

8. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting of the first behavioral pattern to the communication device causes a presentation of advertisements that is correlated to subject matter associated with the first behavioral pattern.

9. A method comprising: receiving, by a communication device, a first behavioral pattern for a user of a computing device, the first behavioral pattern being received from the computing device based on monitoring first media content that is presented by the computing device; adjusting, by the communication device, communication operations of the communication device according to the first behavioral pattern to generate adjusted communication operations; presenting, by the communication device, a group of buttons according to the adjusted communication operations, wherein each button of the group of buttons enables initiating a communication session with a different content source to access different content; limiting, by the communication device, use of the adjusted communication operations to the user and preventing use of the adjusted communication operations by other users that share the communication device, monitoring, by the communication device, a user interaction with at least some of the group of buttons to determine a second behavioral pattern of the user; transmitting, by the communication device, the second behavioral pattern to the computing device to enable the computing device to identify second media content that is correlated to the second behavioral pattern and to enable the computing device to provide access to the second media content.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the second media content is identified by the computing device by searching an electronic programming guide according to the second behavioral pattern.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first behavioral pattern is utilized for selection of targeted advertising at the communication device.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first behavioral pattern is utilized for selection of targeted advertising at the computing device.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the communication device comprises a mobile phone, wherein the computing device comprises a set top box.

14. The method of claim 9 , comprising: storing, by the communication device, a user profile; and adjusting the user profile according to the second behavioral pattern to indicate content preferences.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein a first button of the group of buttons enables first access by the communication device to a first content source via a first web portal, wherein the access by the computing device to the second media content is enabled via a second web portal from a second content source.

16. A computer-readable storage device, comprising executable instructions which, responsive to being executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations comprising: detecting a first behavioral pattern of a user based on monitoring of first media content presented at a presentation device; transmitting the first behavioral pattern to a communication device associated with the user for adjusting communication operations according to the first behavioral pattern to generate adjusted communication operations at the communication device, wherein the adjusted communication operations are limited for use by the user and not for use by other users that share the communication device, wherein the adjusted communication operations include a presentation of a group of buttons, wherein each button of the group of buttons enables initiating a communication session with a different content source to access different content; receiving from the communication device a second behavioral pattern that is determined by the communication device based on a monitored user interaction with at least some of the group of buttons; identifying second media content that is correlated to the second behavioral pattern; identifying advertisements according to the first behavioral pattern; and presenting the second media content and the advertisements at the presentation device.

17. The computer-readable storage device of claim 16 , wherein the operations further comprise presenting an option to record the second media content by way of a digital media recorder.

18. The computer-readable storage device of claim 16 , wherein the communication device is a mobile device, and wherein the processor operates in a set-top box, and wherein the operations further comprise searching an electronic programming guide according to the second behavioral pattern, wherein the identifying of the second media content that is correlated to the second behavioral pattern is based on searching of an electronic programming guide.

19. The computer-readable storage device of claim 16 , wherein the first behavioral pattern identifies content of interest to the user based on genre, individuals associated with the content, broadcast channels of interest to the user, a temporal profile of consumption of the content by the user, or any combination thereof.

20. The computer-readable storage device of claim 16 , wherein the second behavioral pattern is determined by the communication device based in part on user preferences established by the user, and wherein the adjusted communication operations include adjusting a user profile stored at the communication device to indicate content preferences.
